Reliability Engineer III

Position Overview

Fujifilm Sonosite is seeking a Reliability Engineer to support R&D Systems Engineering developing Point-of-Care ultrasound medical devices in Bothell, Washington. As an individual contributor, you will support the entire lifecycle of ultrasound systems, including transducers and accessories. This position will be a champion and focal point on new product development teams using a Design for Reliability (DfR) approach starting early in the design process to ensure designs are robust to customer use, environmental stress, and service-life duration.

The position will also support released products with failure rate analyses, reliability improvement projects, and safety risk assessments of field failure issues. You will work collaboratively within a technical cross‑functional team to plan Design for Reliability efforts, including reliability analyses, HALT tests, reliability demonstration test programs, and engineering analyses. This position involves strong partnership with Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Program Management, Quality, Supplier Quality, and Manufacturing to lead, champion, and act as focal point for the reliability aspects of assigned projects.

At FUJIFILM Sonosite, we reinvent how healthcare is delivered with point‑of‑care ultrasound technology. As the leader in bedside ultrasound systems, our innovations save lives—from premature babies in NICUs to trauma patients in emergency rooms.

We’re looking for purpose‑driven team members ready to build technology that impacts real‑world scenarios, including natural disasters and even war zones. By joining FUJIFILM Sonosite, you’ll be part of a team that thrives on collaboration, out‑of‑the‑box thinking, and a passion for life‑saving innovations. Let’s make a difference together.
